Over 150 applications from community groups have been received this year for the TAK£500+ Participatory Budget Fund.
This project has been growing over the last four years and making real and lasting impact on our residents right across the borough – and this year is shaping up to be even bigger and better!
Communities from right across every corner of the borough have put forward ideas they think will have a positive impact on their area – and are now in the running to receive up to £1000 to fund their project! And the power is in your hands to decide who receives that funding!
There are three exciting Market Stall events taking place, where each applicant will showcase their idea and how it can benefit their community. All you (the public) have to do, is come along to an event, have a look at all the different ideas and vote for your favourites!
These events will be a fun day for all the family to enjoy, with lots of great activities for the children, spot prizes, and teas and coffees on hand while you check out all of the amazing community ideas!
The events:
- Saturday 21st June 2025, 10:00am – 2:00pm: Bannville Hotel, Banbridge
- Saturday 28th June 2025, 10:00am – 2:00pm: Armagh City Hotel
- Saturday 5th July 2025, 2:00pm-5:00pm: South Lake Leisure Centre
We hope to see you there!
Tak£500+ is a Participatory Budgeting initiative organised by the Community Planning Department where local people get to decide how public funds are used to address needs in their area.
